The Optimized Condition's Podcast

The Optimized Condition welcomes McCartney Green back to the show!

If you all remember, McCartney and I had every intention on discussing her 7 keys to becoming a manifesting magnet on our last show and we had such a great time chatting it up that we completely didn't get to those keys! So she is coming back to the show to finally get to how we can manifest all that we desire.

McCartney is the author of 11 books, a speaker and Life Transformation Coach, and mother of 7! She loves helping people to change their lives through a simple formula by learning to have unshakeable joy or having joy no matter what the outside circumstances are.

We hear a lot about how our ego can get in the way of our success. But how can we control our ego to gain what we truly want to achieve?

Todd Lemense, author of Lose Your Ego, Gain the World joins the podcast to discuss just that!

Todd is a business and motivational speaker with a specialization in personal accountability and business accountability. He is also an expert in ego control and keeping things in proper perspective. He has received national speaker awards and spoke to more than 500 corporations.

Let's face it. We ALL binge eat. Who hasn't eaten the entire bag of chips, or the tub of iced cream, or the entire box of cookies when we intended on just having a little taste? Who hasn't, on occasion, drank a 2 liter of soda or juice when all you set out for was to have a cup? Listen, it happens to the best of us!

But this mentality isn't the mentality for someone who aims to lose weight. I'm pretty sure this isn't how a thin person thinks.

Today we welcome Dr. Glenn Livingston to the show. Dr. Livingston Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of binge and overeating through work with his own patients and also a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

His book, Never Binge Again is for anyone who has struggled with food, had difficulty sticking with a healthy diet, or have successfully lost weight before only to gain it all back. The key? Caging the beast, or simply isolating and permanently disempowering your "fat thinking self."

I always envisioned a conversation with a monk to be quite different than the conversation that I had with Vishnu Swami. Just by talking to Vishnu, it is clearly evident why he's called the Maverick Monk. His energy and radical perspective helps him relate to millennials, self-improvement enthusiasts, and working professionals alike.

So what can a swami teach us about health and wellness? Truthfully, a ton!

Vishnu and I discuss his latest book, Eternal Dharma, where he presents his Unprecedented Elemental Reality System that enables us to utilize ancient teachings in the modern world. These principals apply not only to the spiritual components of our life, but the practical, everyday choices that we make in our approach to health and wellness.

Fungus? Really? Sure I've heard of fungus and mold, but to see how they can be detrimental to your health on such a significant level was really eye opening for me. Can you imagine going through years searching for a way to feel better without any luck? Today's guest can relate to this. Erin Porter is the founder of Eat, Pray, Get Well and had endured 25 years of chronic illness, endured many unnecessary surgeries and had been on over 100 courses of antibiotics until she found her root cause, Fungus (aspergillomas in her sinuses). After much research she realized this fungus was systemic, causing MANY of her other health issues she previously thought were unrelated. She has been recently featured on two national TV shows including PBS American health journal as well as many radio/podcasts within the short time EPGW has gone live.

Marijuana is becoming one of the most researched substance in regards to health and wellness today. However, a lot of the discussion focuses on the legality of marijuana and the concern that it is a gateway drug to harder, more dangerous drugs.

But, did you know that there is a component of cannabis that is legal in 50 states, is non addictive and also has many amazing health uses? It's called CBD or cannabidiol. Here to talk about this overlooked compound is Dawn Peacock Owens. Dawn is the Co-Founder of the CBD Talk Podcast and Haven CBD Haven CBD was created to inform people with the most updated information on CBD and its uses. Dawn uses her experience and invites those on the forefront of CBD research to prove the public with the information they need to make informed decisions for their use of CBD.

The Optimized Condition welcomes Dr. Mary Wingo to the show! Dr. Wingo is a scientist and author of the book "The Impact of the Human Stress Response." She earned a Ph.D. in human stress research from The University of North Texas. In 2014, She emigrated to Ecuador, and was introduced to a new and very different society. This opened her eyes to the unsustainable social, economic, and political costs preventable stress causes in the modern world. Dr. Wingo's aim is to clearly explain to the public the biological mechanisms behind the stress response, as well as its staggering costs to society. On today's show we will discuss her book which is the first analysis in history covering the scientific, biological, sociological, political, and economic ramifications of stress in modernized society.

TWU Radio welcomes Joseph Holmes to the show! Joseph is a survivor of adolescent sexual, emotional and physical abuse. He joins the show to discuss how he was able to overcome a nervous breakdown, followed by a period of deep depression to eventually become aware of the angels around him. His latest book, Love Notes For Your Soul, is a story of "Angel Interventions" and transformation available to all of us. It is a story about turning our lives around by listening to our hearts and intuition, specifically by tuning into what our angels are telling us.

The understanding of mental illness has come a long way. Yet, the stigma attached to having a mental illness continues to be profound. Today's guest Mike Veny is America's leading mental health speaker who aims to show how having a mental illness is an asset, not a disadvantage. Mike is a mental health speaker and blogger for TransformingStigma.com. He has struggled with mental health challenges for his entire life, yet he has managed to find success and fulfillment. His advocacy work has been featured on ABC news, CBS news, and has given a TEDx talk on mental health. He's known for delivering educational, engaging, and entertaining presentations to meetings and conferences throughout the world.

Walking is making a comeback! Can something so simple really be the key to lasting health? Because we work long hours, most of us have trouble finding the time to go to the gym. Fewer than 25% of Americans meet minimum recommended goal of an hour of moderate to vigorous exercise a day. Paul Michaels was no different. He was a desk-sitter working 8-12 hours a day with an ever expanding waistline and plummeting wellness. He was desperate for ways to hack back his wellness without turning to ineffective supplements, unnecessary medications, and wacky diets. Walking was his key. Listen in as he shares how he discovered a way to get in exercise in your daily routine without having to drastically change your current lifestyle.
